10 Antique Proven Booth Price Tag Strategies
You may have noticed a lot of words in the samples of my price tag above! Each word is important because it provides significant insight into the item — and every detail informs and appeals to potential customers.
One key to using price tags properly is to inform clients as quickly and smoothly as possible about the item. I propose using the Sharpie Ultra Fine Point to assist you design price tags that help you sell your goods!
If you are uncertain what to write on your old price tags, the following list should help:
Meaningful Descriptors
If your item is old, antique, rare, original, hand-crafted or unique, please note that it may help you sell your item on the tag.
Period of Time
Be as descriptive as you can. For instance: 1880-1889. Collectors want to know as much about an object as possible before they buy.
Origin Place
Where was the item produced or produced? United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, for instance. Many collectors (like myself) seek for artifacts from specific areas of origin.
Style
Buyers typically flock to old malls to complete a stylish space with a piece of furniture or decor. Examples are: Victorian, art deco, modern mid-century, mission, retro, etc. What you wrote on the price tag might assist to ensure that you have chosen the right part for your room.
Materials
The sort of material used might influence worth or interest, therefore please call it on the price tag. The metal kind (e.g. silver, bronze, copper), wood (e.g. maple, oak, mahogany), textile (e.g. cotton, silk, denim) etc.
Condition
Potential purchasers will want to know whether or not the item works—or is restored—or has any damage. Many purchasers want missing components to finish the project, so don't hesitate to sell goods, "just for parts." Some artifacts are "as is" more valuable than they are repaired... therefore some study may be needed and the price tag may be completed appropriately.
The story of the item
If you have a particular narrative — one which you are not on your stand to tell your clients — please mention it on the price tag. It can help you to sell.
Case by case, I'm now selling the historical Hollywood Hotel's original front doors – thus I clearly placed it on the price tag. This knowledge might significantly influence the decision of buyers contemplating buying such doors.
Serial Model or Numbers
Sometimes it's difficult to notice them on the item—save your eyes and write them on the tag. Serial and model numbers can be used to investigate and show the value of an item—more credibility as a dealer.
What has been included
Let buyers know what the specifics of the price tag are paying for. "Includes keys," for example, or "Set of 3." The use of this important price tag information will clarify and prevent confusion.
Measurements
For furniture, wall art or frames, this is especially crucial. It definitely enables the client to see, even if they have no tape measure in the pocket, if it fits in their area.
